I never found a good way to do this.  Actually what I'd really like 
would be a way to selectively turn off the fancy fonts for any non-local 
connections so that things still look nice when I'm sat at the machine, 
but still work well when I'm connected remotely.

I'd be delighted to hear suggestions of how this might work.
